You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you're trying to find out the difference of the circumferences then subtract the 2 circumferences:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12000.41-121.200=11879.21\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the greater wheel is 11,879.21 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you're trying to find a percentage then divide the larger wheel's circumference by the smaller wheel's circumference:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12000.41%2F121.200=99.013\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply this figure by 100 to find the percentage:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"99.013%2A100=9901.3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the greater wheel is 9,901.3% larger. I hope thats what you're looking for.
